Nature Notes and Our World Tuesday: Where are my boot prints

We didn't get much snow before it changed to sleet and freezing rain so it doesn't look like much but it's a hard frozen crust.



The shot above shows where I walked without leaving a boot print and below shows where I finally did sink down.



If anyone has driven up my road yet they haven't left tracks.



This is the type of situation that is hard because it doesn't look like much but it's frozen solid.



I only feed the birds in bad weather because I have so much naturally grown food in my overgrown yard. Above is a female rufous sided towhee and below a titmouse. 



Instead of getting my old bird feeders out of my storage room, I used my deck wall as a feeding station and put out a few tins of dry food. Below is a male rufous sided towhee.



Since the birds live in my overgrown yard and come to my deck for fresh water, they immediately find the food I put out for them when it's extra cold, snowy or icy.



Above is a male cardinal and below is a junco.
